I agree AI isn't that different of a technology than any other, and it can be used for beneficial and harmful purposes

However, I'm against nationalizing it's development for the same reason, extending your example, I'm against nationalizing the publishing industry.

You're arguing that having an AM radio in a car isn't a perfect solution? Nothing is a perfect solution. This is just one piece that can help someone out in an emergency. Nominal cost is low. It already exists. As the OP pointed out, it has proven to help people out.

Absolutely people should be better prepared for emergencies. We can do that and also have AM radios in cars.

Everybody *should* have an emergency radio. Most people nowadays don't own any kind of radio besides what is in their car. It only costs a few bucks and gives everyone with a car a chance at getting long-distance communications. Sounds like a no-brainer to me.

Thing about emergencies is that, often, you are not home when they happen. I was at work when the last massive power outage hit my area, that lasted for days. I was also at work when the last bout of floods hit. We were on vacation on cabin on top of a ridge when wildfires hit our area. Cell phones were useless, but the radio still worked.

Gone With The Wind made all that money with $6 tickets, adjusted for inflation. Average ticket prices in 2019 were $9. And there were a third as many people in the US at that time.

I know someone who was shot in the neck in a completely random attack at night, and survived. The cops wrote it up as aggravated assault instead of attempted homicide. That year the homicide, and attempted homicide, numbers in the city were down. Yay! They never caught the guy, though he shot two more random people in the same neighborhood that month.

The big lever on the side of a breaker box. Or the power switch on a server. Or "docker kill skynet_01"

And if the banana turned brown in the process, that's just due to your poor BBPS

If it is such a pain in the ass, it looks more like that banana fucked you up, no?

Can't a government agency just get a court order to do exactly that? The RIAA got an injunction to shut down the Napster services while their copyright cases were pending in federal court. I have no problem with the government shutting down a harmful service, but I don't want them to be able to do it unilaterally. Go through the courts, which is how it is done now.

You don't build in safeguards when training. Accessing HTTP API endpoints isn't an inherent feature of LLMs, it's added on to the harness after the core model is trained. If you don't want it to try hacking in to a REST API then don't add that feature into the harness. Either have a whitelist of approved APIs and forms, or add validation to user-added endpoints.

Google's new rules specifically apply to other largely unrelated services, that's the problem.

Doesn't that cumbersome procedure have to be done a single time (for the first non-signed app), and then it's good for all following apps, and still months after that? Or does it expire?

Right, I thought of that as I was pressing Submit :) Around here the towers are all owned by phone companies, as they were put up before there was widespread home distribution of electrical. In the suburbs the towers are all Edison and Consumer's, and I'd imagine that's the case in most suburbs and newer cities.
